Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As an important natural resource, land resource integrates natural and human elements, and is the core of production, life, and ecological activities. Land resource is non-renewable and scarce, which determines that land resource assessment has a far-reaching impact on high-quality development. From an international perspective, the Future Earth program integrates research projects such as the global land program and ecosystem services, making land science a key component of the Future Earth program, reflecting the close relationship between human and natural elements. Land resource assessment covers land use change, land use efficiency estimation, functional difference, land carrying capacity research, complex human–land interaction, and paying attention to the production–life–ecological dynamic mechanism. It is of great significance to carry out land resource assessment to reveal the complex mechanism of human–land coupling in the process of land resource protection, ensure the ecological security of land, and promote the sustainable use of land resource.
By designing this Special Issue, we aim to achieve better sustainable protection of land resource, improve the framework of land resource assessment, and achieve high-quality land production. In this regard, we welcome original and review articles on topics such as land resource efficiency research for high-quality development, the whole process of land resource research and future scenario simulation based on Energy System Language, LCA and energy, land resource capitalization, urban and rural land resource functional differences evaluation, land transfer analysis, land resource ecological security, and land carrying capacity evaluation.
